Although originally planned to have seven storeys, another floor was added after further evaluation of community needs.
The building has been designed and constructed to increase patient care and comfort, as well as to deliver environmental benefits.
The patient pavilion features sustainable design elements and is expected to achieve LEED certification.
Lower level roofs of the building have been lined with varied flora to better assimilate the structure with its surrounding environment and retain rainwater runoff.
